Ski Touring off the Beaten Track in Kyrgyzstan

Ski Touring off the Beaten Track in Kyrgyzstan Pete Coombs goes off-piste – very off-piste – touring from a yurt in the remote mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Written by: Pete Coombs As I sip my soup in the warmly lit yurt I confidently describe our group of keen skiers as ‘experts’ to Pasha, our Russian ski guide. I am supremely unaware that I’ll soon be eating my words. It’s not without reason that I lay claim to our competence: between us, my skiing companions and I have tens of seasons under our belts.

The first winter ascent of K2 (8,848 meters), undertaken by a fully Nepalese team (with co-leader Nirmal “Nims” Purja summiting without bottled oxygen), has captivated viewers around the globe. Sadly, just prior to the ascent, the Spaniard Sergi Mingote, Co-Leader of the Seven Summits Treks (SST) team on K2, perished after a long fall while descending to Advanced Base Camp from Camp 1 (6,050 meters).
